London Mile - Hometown Gypsy (Demo) Lyrics

We all know a girl in our hometown
One that we've loved for years, but she won't come around
We've tried our best to be what she's after, but we're never sure
'Cause that changes each time that she walks through our door

She's afraid of commitment; she won't stay tied down
That woman has seen every inch of this town
She may have a gypsy soul and mind
But my arms is one place she has yet to find

I remember the first time she caught my glance
I didn't know I'd be destined for hopeless romance
Well it's been ten years now, and she won't stay out of my dreams
Yes I've lost this game of love, or so it seems

I'd be her cryin' shoulder if she'd let it be me
Her tears, they would be in the past if she'd see
That I love her, more than she's ever known
Hometown Gypsy, won't you come on home

I've been patient for years, as she fought off each tear
When her love life crumbled away
And I've stood by her side, as so many guys
Took her for granted each day

Now I'm down on my knees, prayin' Lord won't you please put me into her heart
And I promise to be the man that she's sought from the start

Yeah she may have a gypsy soul and mind
But my arms is one place she will never find
